Blizzard would never have done that if Activision hadn't been allowed to buy them. The new conglomerate will be worse than we anticipate in the same way Activion-Blizzard was.

Why would they be worse? We have a bunch of good games out of Microsoft. I don't see how they could fuck it up

Blizzard had pretty much only made amazing games before Activision bought them. Activision also made a lot of good games back then. People couldn't see how the merger would fick it up back then, yet it still did.

I expect Bethesda to get infected with the worst that Activion-Blizzard has to offer more so than the opposite.
